My Dear Mr. Sherley: There were transmitted to you on January 
8, 1915, tabulated statements showing the application of appropria- 
tions made by Congress for fortifications and related purposes from 
and including the year 1888 to July 1, 1914. The statements of ex- 
penditure then furnished you have been revised to show the applica- 
tion of appropriations to include June 30, 1915, and copies thereof 
are transmitted herewith for substitution for the corresponding state- 
ments of January 8, 1915. 

Exliibit A and Appendixes 1, 2, and 3 show the expenditures for 
seacoast fortifications in continental United States, apportionexl to 
localities as far as is practical, and the balances on hand on June 30, 
1915. 

Exhibit B and Appendixes 1 and 2 show the corresponding data for 
the fortifications in insular possessions.

to June 30, 1915, and the amounts available for expenditure on that 
date.

ments of January 8, 1915, was .$175,974, 699. 13; that accounted for

fortification act of 1916, and $8,000 carried by the sundry civil act
